Beautiful seaside Victorian hotel! Staff were stretched thin but very friendly, dinner and breakfast were great, high ceilings in the room, stunning views out the large original windows. Some parts of the room could maybe use a deep sanitize clean, bathroom had an odd aroma. Room and hotel were well appointed otherwise. The walk down to the lifeboat station at sunset was 👌and the hike to Dunskey castle the next morning was incredible.

My overall view is 'faded grandure'. Most of the hotel needs a complete refurbish. The staff were very helpful and did their best with poor facilities. Having stayed here before it was as I expected. My only negative feedback was the lack of clarity on 'half board' that does not include all courses for dinners this year (only starter and main - NOT pudding) It's reasonably priced for the facilities and suited my group of 12 golfers

Property was situated on top of a cluff with a.axing views over the bay. Hotel was clean and tidy but in need of refurbishment. The bedside cabinet in my room was poorly made and looked like it could collapse any second. I enjoyed my stay and would stay again if I'm ever in that area again

The Portpatrick hotel is situated on the hill above the small harbour of Portpatrick . The staff are pleasant and helpful. The hotel has the ambience of a grand old Victorian house. There is a piano lounge with a door out to the terrace over looking the harbour with views of the harbour and across the Irish Sea . There are steps down to the village with its bars and restaurants and play area for children . It is very well placed for Portpatrick golf club . The food , whilst a limited choice was very nice and the breakfast buffet was excellent. There is a games room with a pool table and a bar which is quite well stocked. There is a decent amount of free parking. The outstanding aspect for me though is the views . The Mountains of Morne were visible across the sea and the sunsets amazing. It’s worth the drive to get there.
